Jung SuWon builds Kids' confidence!

Jung SuWon Marital Arts Academy just had an awesome Christmas party! Part of the entertainment for the party was songs and dances by students. For one of the acts, two little girls, 6 years old stood up infront of the huge audience and performed a choreographed dance to a holiday song, dressed in matchng red and black outfits, reindeer antlers, and blinking red Rudolf noses.

They were so confident! They didn't appear to feel even a second of stage fright. They danced and smiled and had a great time. I think they got the biggest round of applause of the night!

Great Grandmaster Dr Tae Yun asked the audience afterwards, what were you doing at age 6?

I know I wasn't up in front of a audience singing and dancing - I was too shy. Looking back I would have loved to have trained at Jung SuWon as a kid -- the kids learn so much focus, how to set a goal and accomplish it, how to learn from their mistakes, self discipline, self confidence etc. The kids training at Jung Suwon have opportunities, like these two little girls did at the Christmas party, to develop the self confidence needed to speak, sing, and dance, in front of people. Things they can take with them their whole lives.
